But skyrocketing rents, low wages, and a lack of tenant rights have produced a startling phenomenon: People with full-time jobs cannot keep a roof over their head, especially in America s booming cities, where rapid growth is leading to catastrophic displacement. These families are being forced into homelessness not by a failing economy but a \u003ci\u003ethriving \u003c\/i\u003eone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this gripping and deeply reported book, Brian Goldstone plunges readers into the lives of five Atlanta families struggling to remain housed in a gentrifying, increasingly unequal city. Maurice and Natalia make a fresh start in the country s  Black Mecca  after being priced out of DC. Kara dreams of starting her own cleaning business while mopping floors at a public hospital. Britt scores a coveted housing voucher. Michelle is in school to become a social worker. Celeste toils at her warehouse job while undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer. Each of them aspires to provide a decent life for their children and each of them, one by one, joins the ranks of the nation s working homeless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough intimate, novelistic portraits, Goldstone reveals the human cost of this crisis, following parents and their kids as they go to sleep in cars, or in squalid extended-stay hotel rooms, and head out to their jobs and schools the next morning. These are the nation s hidden homeless omitted from official statistics, and proof that overflowing shelters and street encampments are only the most visible manifestation of a far more pervasive problem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy turns heartbreaking and urgent, \u003ci\u003eThere Is No Place for Us\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the true magnitude, causes, and consequences of the new American homelessness and shows that it won t be solved until housing is treated as a fundamental human right.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBrian Goldstone\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist whose longform reporting and essays have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times, Harper s Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe California Sunday Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eJacobin\u003c\/i\u003e, among other publications.
